Camera View Control
Camera pan/tilt units are controlled using the keyboard joystick;
camera motorized lens units are controlled by the keyboard lens
group buttons.
REMOTE camera view control is accessible from an V2116
keyboard only.
To control camera Pan and Tilt:
1.
Call the pertinent REMOTE camera to a LOCAL monitor.
2.
Hold the keyboard joystick in the desired direction to move the
camera.
For control of variable-speed pan/tilt via V2116 keyboards,
camera movement speed is in direct proportion to the position of
the joystick; the further from center the joystick is moved, the
faster the camera moves.
3.
Center the joystick when the camera is at the desired scene or
view, as shown on the monitor.
To control camera Iris, Focus, and Zoom:
1.
Call the pertinent REMOTE camera to a LOCAL monitor.
2.
Push and hold the keyboard LENS control function button
designating the desired action (Iris OPEN or CLOSE, Focus
NEAR or FAR, Zoom WIDE or TELE).
Note:
The type of lens control functions available depends on the
type or options of the lens installed on the camera (e.g., an
Auto-Iris lens cannot be controlled by the OPEN or CLOSE
buttons).
3.
Release the button when the camera lens is at the desired iris,
focus, or zoom position, as viewed on the monitor.
The V2040 CPU allows multiple keyboard control actions at the
same time on one camera. Any two of the lens control buttons and
the joystick can be operated simultaneously.
Certain Infinova Receivers are equipped for automatic pan/tilt
operation (Auto pan) using preset scene end stops or an auxiliary
control output.
Note:
After a remote camera is called to the local monitor, all the
control functions are available to the current operator.
The operator can operate the remote camera by referring to the
Chapter of System Operation of the V2040 Installation/Operation
Instructions.
3.7 Running a Tour
Tour function enables an operator to continuously display a
sequence of different camera views/presets, or to perform salvo
switching. The same camera view or preset can be included in the
same tour multiple times.
Each dwell time can be defined separately. V2040 supports two tour
kinds of tours: System Tour and Monitor Tour. System Tours are
defined by Menu Programming (see Chapter V). Monitor Tours are
defined by System Setup (see Chapter IV) for a single monitor.
To start a tour:
1.
Call the desired monitor to run the tour;
2.
Enter the tour number (1-64) on the keypad;
3.
Press the RUN button;
4.
Press the ACK button.
Note:
If the ACK button is not pressed within the 3-second period,
please repeat the procedure from step 2.
Please also note that only one tour can be started on and associated
with a monitor at one time. If a Monitor Tour is programmed to a
monitor and then a System Tour is called to that monitor, the
Monitor Tour is erased.
Press the NEXT or LAST button to change the running direction of
the tour. When a tour is running, the on-screen Status Line shows
the dwell time for each camera in the tour. When running a tour in
the forward direction, an "F" is displayed beside the dwell time;
when running a tour in the reverse direction, an "R" is displayed.
To stop a tour:
Press the HOLD button to stop a tour on the currently displayed
monitor.
When the tour is stopped, the monitor displays the camera that the
tour is stopped on, and the message "HOLD" is displayed in the
on-screen Status Line. While a tour is on HOLD, any camera
control function (e.g., pan, tilt, focus, zoom, iris) can be performed
on that camera.
To change the running direction of the tour on hold:
1.
Press the NEXT button to advance the tour one step and set the
direction of the tour to "forward".
2.
Press the LAST button to rewind the tour one step and set the
direction of the tour to "reverse".
3.
Press the "0" and PROG buttons to remove the camera on hold.
4.
Press the RUN button to continue running the tour.
3.8 Calling a Preset
For cameras equipped with motorized pan/tilt and/or lens with
servo control capability, presets (pre-positioned scenes) may be
defined and stored at the Receiver for automatic call up. Up to 72
presets may be programmed for each NewTeck camera receiver.
To call a preset:
1.
Call the pertinent camera to the monitor;
2.
Enter the number of the preset scene (1-255) on the keypad;
3.
Press the SHOT button.
Note:
Please refer to
System Setup - Setting Preset
for details on
how to program a preset.
